Steam on Linux is up to 3.2%, an increase of 0.15% for the month. One year ago Steam on Linux was at 2.03% last November, 1.91% for November 2023, and a decade ago for November 2015 was at just 0.98%.

I couldn't find the instructions anywhere on how to get the this mod working anywhere that worked for me. If it helps I'm trying to get it working for Wukong

https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/738

I'm trying with the universal version of the mod, where you just have to copy the correct files and dll_version according to games compatibility list.

My launch options : WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winmm,version=n,b" PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 WINEHAGS=1 %command% --launcher-skip

I'm running cachyos and using the cachyos native version of proton.

Also, I do get the log file built dlssg_to_fsr3.log. There are no errors in the log file that I can see, but Frame Gen is greyed out when I select DLSS in game.

So I have one game that I can kind of leave idle for a bit, and only engage with it periodically. When I want to play another game alongside it (e.g. Vampire Survivors), the controller inputs affect both games. I only want it to control one at a time, and I've mapped a shortcut to alt-tab between windows.

If it helps, I'm on CachyOS (KDE/Wayland), I'm running both games through Steam, and my controller is a Gamesir Cyclone 2 which is recognized on the system as a generic Xbox controller.

Edit: Right after posting this, it all started working the way I want, and I don't know why. I have no idea how to replicate this in the future, but I'll update this post if I figure out what's going on.

Edit 2: alt-tabbing to a third, non-game window then on to the other game window seems to make this work.

Is there any sort of semi easy alternative to Eyefinity or Nvidia surround that works on Linux? I spent hours on tutorials, and in the terminal, and I just couldn't get it to work! I ultimately switched back to Windows for my gaming because of this. This was awhile ago, though, and I know stuff has come a long way, so I'm hoping maybe there are some better options now.

This of course is no issue at all on Windows, but I'd like to be able to play on here too and of all the problems I could've had, I didn't expect this to be one of them and it's so irritating.

The Steam Deck made a massive shift for many developers to support Linux Gaming (or atleast not blocking it). Do you think that the release of the Steam Machine (and if it's gonna be very popular) could change the stance of certain game studios on Linux? Particularly Kernel Level Anti Cheat?

Might have been discussed before but this interests me a lot.

There is a bug in Kubuntu for power management which significantly reduced the graphics performance of Intel graphics on Laptop (less than half), Ubuntu does not have this bug when performance mode is selected in the power settings! The performance of Intel graphics on Linux is comparable to Windows or even significantly better in different graphics scenes (almost 300%+) in recent results!

Choose your distro carefully for laptop if you have Intel legacy graphics (Xe or older), Ubuntu does not have many bugs!

Great achievement of Intel Mesa3D graphics team!

Linux gaming is a direct competitor of Windows with Intel graphics now!

So, i run into this issue, i just installed Bazzite with the ISO that start up as steam deck (gamescope-session or steam gaming mode as they call it), and it starts up on my build in screen of my laptop, i want to use it as it's a home theater pc, just closed on a self and running connected to a HDMI and a AC.

So i run into Desktop Mode to fix this i found this https://docs.bazzite.gg/Handheld_and_HTPC_edition/quirks/#how-do-i-specify-the-correct-monitor-for-gaming-mode-to-use-htpc-only but no lucky setting it up it always defaults to the built in screen, on desktop mode i can use the external HDMI screen but when returning to gaming mode the internal screen only show something, i just don't find anything useful and don't know what to do.

Any help is appreciated

When I enter a game, no sound is played, and when I close the game the sound works for some reason This happened in all of my games except valve source games (half life 2, portal 2, team fortress 2, etc). It also happened when I was on linux mint (now zorin, and still had this issue), so is it a problem on my device? (Lenovo yoga slim 7)

Valve released the statistics from the Steam Hardware & Software Survey for November 2025, which shows once again that Linux use is trending nicely upwards.

Noob question. I recently got a RX 550 after my 580 broke. Can I play modern games with this GPU and does it support modern AMD drivers?

Hello (sorry my english is not good)

I'm determined to leave Windows behind, but I'm looking for a Linux distribution dedicated to gaming. I've already researched some that seem suitable for beginners or aren't too difficult.

As I mentioned before, I'm looking for one dedicated to or optimized for gaming, but I also want to learn Linux. That's why Bazzite, being somewhat "closed," is discouraging me.

I also read that Linux doesn't work very well with Nvidia, except in some distributions, and also with newer hardware.

I want to have one SSD with Linux and another with Windows for online gaming.

I saw that Mint is stable but is a bit behind in terms of drivers.

Here are my specifications:

R5 7600

4070TI SUPER

4TB NVMe SSD split into 2TB and 2TB

Distributions I researched that caught my attention:

Cachy OS

Linux Mint

Pop OS

Zorin OS

Bazzite

Endeavour

I'm looking for help. I expect to reset my PC next week to make the changes.

Disclaimer: I'm a programmer but I am also lazy and I just wanted something that worked, so this tool is entirely vibe coded. I did check and review the contents, but I'm just being upfront and honest.

I often play games on Linux using a capture card (switch, xbox, PS5, etc) to directly tap into the video HDMI out of my consoles. This is because I prefer to play on my PC even if I have consoles, and it also makes it easier to stream and capture gameplay to share with friends.

My old setup used a convoluted bash script that fed the video and audio into mpv and tried to keep it as low latency as possible. It worked, but I wasn't happy with having to run video-playback software rather than some gaming-specific software (although I love mpv).

So I decided to just write my own wrapper and application around ffmpeg, so I can just run a single binary and it will capture the video and audio (actually, the audio is routed via pulseaudio so it's not quite there yet).

Later I also added some simple CRT shader for my retro consoles (dreamcast).

I'm just sharing it here in case people find it interesting. It's written in rust and you have to build it yourself (in release mode!):

https://github.com/Morgawr/michadame

WARNING: This software's purpose specifically is for myself. I made it because I needed it. It works well on my machine, but I have no interest in testing it for other setups as well. I'd gladly accept patches if people send them to me, though. If you find that this works well for you, that's awesome. If it doesn't... well I'm sorry to hear, still let me know and maybe we can figure it out.

Here is a screenshot of a Switch visual novel running on it, with a CRT filter added on top because why not?

I would wanna move to Linux as it's just, better, but I can't ignore the games I can't play such as Fortnite, BF6 and such, anyone knows any convenient workarounds to help with that? KVM isn't an option due to the ban risks and me having 1 GPU, and dual boot splits my storage along with it not being particularly convenient to restart when I need to play 1 game.

Basically I'm asking what are my options to make it as seamless as possible if there's any

I've got an itch to make some fun environments, fill them with baddies to fight, and share them. Something of at least Quake's level of fidelity (i.e. fully 3D) or better.

Most of my gaming is done on my Steam Deck and I'd like to do the editing there as well so I can iterate and profile faster. So far I've found TrenchBroom (https://trenchbroom.github.io/) for certain Quake Tech lineage games, but I hope someone could recommend other games and level editors that work well.
